BBC Archive Trial

After registering for this service, i have to say i am surprised. Watch old footage again.

Unlike the iPlayer, you login and stream the footage, without having to download any software. It streams very well and can be used via media player and real player. I have found that real player works a lot better, and loads a lot faster. At present it is limited to certain programmes, but there are plans to add lots more. Grange Hill, Blue Peter, radio repeats, landing on the moon and launch of the Concorde are just a few of the online clips. What more could you ask for:)

Give it a go http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/trial register for a logon and you should get a response within five days. Let me know what you think, leave a comment if you get to try it.
